IWA EcoSTP 2021 – Impacting the environment with innovation in wastewater treatment
Following four successful IWA Specialized International Conferences on “Ecotechnologies for Wastewater Treatment (EcoSTP)” in Spain (2012), Italy (2014), the United Kingdom (2016), and Canada (2018), we are pleased to announce the 5th IWA EcoSTP conference (IWA EcoSTP 2021) “Impacting the environment with innovation in wastewater treatment” to be held in Milan (Italy). After the postponement due to the COVID-19 sanitary crisis, the conference has been moved to 2021.
IWA EcoSTP 2021 will take place in June 2021 and will be hosted by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. The conference is organized by a program committee composed by Politecnico di Milano staff and chairs of previous editions of the IWA EcoSTP conference. IWA EcoSTP 2021 is supported by Water Utilities, Companies in the Water Sector, Local Authorities and other stakeholders.
